Found this rather different silver pietra dura brooch and had to pick it up. They're just so cute and dorky looking. [ATTACH] I can find a...
I would pass and I would send that client an invoice again with a sternly worded letter! Seems like you need to add late fees in your future...
Not bad, but not fine art...as in "museum" art. I agree this looks like tourist art. This was a popular subject.
There was a full deer that started to rot (AND I STILL HAD TO USE ON CAMERA :arghh:), that she also took on a different occasion, but no this...
The animal was....enormous. Not bucket-sized. I called my taxidermy gal and asked if she'd take the maggoty animal and she was extremely excited....
Agreed it looks like a quite faded modern print. You can confirm that by using a jeweler's loupe or other magnification (sometimes zoom on your...
That looks like masking tape so it will probably flake away as you get going. Tape removal won't hurt canvas or wood anymore than it already is....
Strangely, I've yet to ever set one foot into a prop house as they don't really exist where I typically work at (we get rentals shipped to us,...
I swear that looks like "Alexis Kirk" to me but I can't find their logo in cursive...
Luckily, we have an on-set "snake" wrangler (they actually cover any dangerous wildlife) who deal with that. I'm good with anything that's not...
I work in props on film sets. Very fast paced, unloading gear from our truck, working with tools, fabricating, and I never know what sort of...

Synthetic sapphire in the center (and elsewhere) is my assumption too, since it is 14k. It's definitely the Art Deco style but could be...
No blame, just pointing out Americans like to preserve the "nice" stuff as much as anyone else. Personally, I use all the "nice" things regularly...
This one taught me to keep an eye out for grimy pieces and I scored my first hardstone (seller thought glass) for ridiculously low money that way....
Snobby to want nice pieces to stay nice? Yeaaah nooo. If thats how they're judging, I'm going to wonder about the thriving American market for...
Thank you! They're very satisfying to "save" and uncover the surprise underneath. To be completely fair, the Bacchante I waited to buy for several...
Yeaaah mixing water and oil is.....not a thing? And if what you're describing was her intention I feel she would have mentioned that specifically....
Oooh yeah I save the more delicate and favored pieces for nice events where people move slowly and it isn't as crowded. Gives me excuses to pick...
What a cute giardinetti! 3-stone set is less usual I think, than having 4-5 "petals" so I wonder if originally they were going for a basket of...
